Yamaha Motor India has introduced the EC-06, a cutting-edge electric scooter crafted for both urban and interurban travel. As part of Yamaha’s inaugural EV lineup for India—the Aerox Eas series—the EC-06 marks a pivotal moment in the company’s commitment to sustainable transportation. The brand plans to commence deliveries in the upcoming quarter, with pricing details also set to be announced at that time.
The EC-06 targets young, tech-savvy riders and is built on the foundation of River EV, an Indian electric vehicle brand in which Yamaha has made a strategic investment. This scooter merges Yamaha’s legendary performance heritage with a sleek, futuristic aesthetic and everyday practicality, positioning it as a stylish, intelligent choice for modern urban riders. Notably, Yamaha also used the same event to launch the XSR155 and FZ Rave motorcycles.
Yamaha’s EC-06 showcases a bold, futuristic silhouette that reflects the brand’s “Ride Easy for Active Lifestyle” philosophy. Its high-centred gravity layout improves agility and ease of handling in heavy traffic, while the horizontal core design ensures optimal balance and stability. The scooter’s confident stance and sharp, clean lines deliver a contemporary look tailored for riders who prioritise both style and functionality. Developed in India with a global perspective, the EC-06 combines simplicity, practicality, and premium design in a compact, user-friendly package.
Powering the EC-06 is a robust 4.5 kW electric motor that delivers 6.7 kW peak power, paired with a 4 kWh high-capacity fixed battery. This powerful setup provides instant torque and smooth acceleration, ideal for city rides and short highway trips.
With a certified range of 160 km per full charge, the EC-06 offers one of the best real-world ranges in its category. Riders can choose from three riding modes—Eco, Standard, and Power—to customise performance to their preferences. A reverse mode further enhances convenience in tight urban environments. Charging is simple and efficient, using a standard home plug-in charger that fully recharges the scooter in about 9 hours.
Yamaha has equipped the EC-06 with an array of modern technologies to boost both safety and user experience. Key features include:
The scooter also integrates seamlessly with Yamaha’s connected ecosystem, enabling riders to track vehicle data, charging status, and maintenance schedules from their smartphones.
The EC-06 is positioned as a premium lifestyle electric scooter, appealing to young professionals and city dwellers seeking an eco-friendly, yet distinctive, mode of transport. It speaks to riders who value innovation, elegance, and environmental responsibility—and desire an electric scooter that goes beyond basic commuting.
Yamaha describes the EC-06 as a “stylish and cool” e-scooter for modern trendsetters, blending practicality with personality. Its agile handling, rider-focused ergonomics, and refined design make it perfect for both first-mile and last-mile connectivity, empowering riders to navigate urban landscapes with confidence and flair.
